Uncover how to scale your business fast with clarity
3-week Scaling Clarity Program for CEOs of growth and expansion stage companies
Uncover deeper scaling challenge causes and priority actions, or it's free.
We've supported hundreds of executives.
2 spots available per month.
Stuck with scaling revenue?
Team not delivering? Losing customers?
Your business has clients and income, but growth is slow, although you're working hard in marketing, sales, and product development. This is "What" you do.
Solving scaling challenges can be hard
-
Many moving parts and different personalities, making it tricky to untangle what causes what.
-
Lack of perspective: Understanding past events is easier than objectively seeing current challenges.
-
Overwhelming priorities: hard to choose what to focus on first to address root causes.
-
Lack of time for important work: everyone is busy with everyday tasks and putting out fires.
Many options, limited outcomes
-
Advice from books and articles is time-consuming and often irrelevant to your situation.
-
Standard trainings offer broad information but fail to identify your situation's root causes.
-
Consultants focus on symptoms like strategy or marketing without addressing the underlying "why".
Look beyond the symptoms

We help you look into “Why” you do things the way you do - examine 7 root cause areas and help you reveal how they influence your actions and results. And where to focus to address the causes.
1. Strategy. 2. Structure. 3. Resources. 4. Partners. 5. Team. 6. Culture. 7. Leadership psychology.
Leadership psychology isn't the only area we explore, but impacts growth the most:
-
CEOs explore how their authentic desires and values match their strategy, structure and team,
-
Uncover ways to utilise their natural strengths and talents better,
-
Also, discover what fears, ambitions, and unconscious beliefs impact their decisions and leadership.
-
These are just a few of the many elements in leadership psychology that impact growth.
What our clients get
1. Insights into the root causes
Gain deep, actionable insights into the underlying issues affecting business results.
2. Knowledge where to focus

3. Clarity for personal alignment

We broke 500K in monthly revenue now in September. When we first met with Cocoon about 9 months ago, our monthly revenue record was 230K. It has been an excellent year for us and we feel that Cocoon has helped us a lot in our growth story, thank you!
Janne Rotko, Jobilla CFO, Finland
I had the pleasure of having conversations with Farhad about my challenges on where to focus on our journey, making Wavepiston the leading wave energy company in the world. Farhad is very good at getting to the root of the problem with his direct questions and comments. This has given me some tools and made me more conscious of choosing the right battles and tasks to focus on and being better at delegating to other colleagues.
Michael Henriksen, Wavepiston CEO, Denmark
